Cookie Decisions
MENTAL STATUS: "Happy". Christmas cards actually came out... pretty good. And more importantly, they're done and going out in the mail today. (Woo-hoo!)
I was invited to go to a cookie swap this week. Thus, I said "Sure!".
Then I was told to make 14 dozen of one kind of cookie.
**cough cough**
Anyhew, I'm having trouble deciding what kind of cookie to make. (Yeah, I know more sweating the small stuff) But in my defense, I'm not really sweating this decision.
I went to a cookie swap a few years ago and came back disappointed. One, because I came back with so little cookies. (But I think I only made a few dozen) And two, I was disappointed because I didn't come back with any "Christmas" kind of cookies. I ended up baking cookies AFTER the swap, which kind of took the whole point out of the swap.
So... I want to make a Christmas type of cookie, but I also want to avoid repeating what other woman are making. All I know so far is someone is making a biscotti.
I have narrowed down my choices to these:
** Caramel pecan cookies (they have a butter cookie bottom and a caramel pecan top, almost like mini triangular pecan pies)
**Walnut snowballs (you know, those little round cookies dusted in powdered sugar)
**Spritz cookies (those cookie press cookies with candied cherries in the middle)
What do you think I should make?
What kind of cookie do you think of at Christmas?

Christmas always makes me think of old fashioned sugar cookies with sprinkles.
Last year the grandkids and I did the cookie thing. I have to check with them about this year. Their desires change so often ...
Or maybe everyone is thinking along these lines and no one does sugar or chocolate chip, :oD
What about lemon bars? Or rice crispy treats? Actually those pecan cookies sound really good!
I vote for the kind that you can make 14 dozen of without swearing off baking forever afterwards.
Wow. I bake and I can't even fathom making 14 dozen of a cookie.
You mean there is such a thing as a non-Christmas cookie? Parrish the thought! I even use chocolate chip cookies for Christmas, though gingerbread men and rum balls top my list.
I don't make cookies really, not unless they are monster cookies. Since I can no longer eat wheat, most cookies are out. But, I do love to make peanut clusters (so easy) and haystacks (easier).
Good luck in your decision and have fun!

@_@ Holy Mother of God. 14 Dozen?! 168 cookies? *faints*
Wow. Good luck with that.
But on the choice of cookies, I'm torn between the caramel pecan and spritz cookies. Mmm...I think I'm leaning more for the spritz cookies...prolly because I like cherries!
Make the easiest one. Seriously. That's a lot of cookies.
